ok, i'm sorry, but i have to point out that this is a serious problem with equality as it is presented here - you end up with short, boring stories. i have a boring life! i need exciting stories! i need makayla to run that checker cab down, throw it to the ground and engage the driver in a wide-ranging roller-coaster of a discussion that will end with his conversion to a champion in the fight for a race- and gender-neutral world! i need this conversation to involve them throwing fireballs at each other and blowing up the taxi! AND I NEED IT TO GO ON FOR PAGES AND PAGES!

i means seriously, judging from the sisterhood's efforts, future literature will all be in the form of single tweets. IS THIS THE WORLD WE WANT FOR OUR CHILDREN? especially the ones who might otherwise be gainfully employed in the publishing industry.

Actually, this is the world we want for our children. Makayla isn't a warrior woman fighting for justice. She's just trying to get home. I think it's great that she just gets home, no problem. And the thing is, this is an important story for girls to hear growing up also. It teaches them what to expect from a decent society.

Depends on your perspective, I think. If you've ever been stuck in the rain, waving for a taxi, as one by one they drive straight past you, then this story could come across as one with a fabulous fairytale ending.

I can't be bothered with taxis now that there are services like Uber and Lyft around. I want perfect information at all times and instant gratification, dammit!
